Our guests will have the opportunity to learn more about the keelboat sailing lessons we offer at the Centre. Guests will also be introduced to our co-op boat share program which provides sailors the opportunity to sail on a variety of keelboats ranging in size from 24′ to 33′ while they perfect their skills.

Member SupportedOur centre is a member supported, not for profit corporation providing affordable sailing at a fraction of the cost of boat ownership….which means we offer a low risk introduction to the sport of sailing before having to make a significant financial commitment to boat ownership.
